Ord No 06-20-2360Ordinance No. 06-20-2360
An Ordinance modifying the following sections of the Land Development
Code: Section 20-2.3 Definitions, Section 20-3.1 Zoning use districts and
purposes (A) and (B); Section 20-3.3 Permitted use schedule; and Section 20-
3.5 Dimensional requirements.
WHEREAS, Housing Policy 1.1.6 of the Comprehensive Plan states that by the year 2023, "the
City shall investigate the range of housing available in the City and review the Land Development Code
(LDC) for any impediments to the development of projects that offer a broad range of housing prices and
types..."; and
WHEREAS, Housing Policy 1.2.5 of the Comprehensive Plan further states that by the year 2020,
"the City shall review, and amend as necessary, the LDC regulations for changes that will lead to more
affordable housing, such as reduced minimum lot size, provisions for accessory units, and reduced parking
requirements..."; and
WHEREAS, the LDC currently includes two (2) zoning districts, which provide for the
development of townhouse projects, including the Townhouse Residential (RT-6) zoning district, with a
maximum density of six (6) dwelling units per acres, and the Two-Family/Townhouse Residential (RT-9)
zoning district, which in addition to townhouse dwellings allows two-family and detached single-family
dwellings, and, in principle, caps density at 8.7 dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, a footnote to the table of dimensional requirements for "multi -family zoning districts"
(Section 20-3.5F of the LDC) states that "townhouses in the RT-9 zoning district are subject to all the
requirements of the RT-6 zoning district except the minimum site size," which effectively means that the
maximum applicable density for townhouses in the RT-9 zoning district is the same as the maximum density
allowed in the RT-6 zoning district (6 dwelling units per acre); and
WHEREAS, this restriction significantly limits the usefulness of the RT-9 zoning as a middle -
range density residential district option between RT-6 and next zoning district, RM-18, which is intended
for multi -family residential development at densities not exceeding eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre;
and
WHEREAS, to provide a broader range of housing options, the City wishes to amend the LDC to
remove the density restriction in RT-9 and revise the dimensional requirements that otherwise hinder the
usefulness of the RT-9 district; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance also amends the Definitions section and the District Purpose Statements
of the LDC to bring further clarity and make corrections; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board held a public hearing on the ordinance on December 10, 2019
and voted five (5) to one (1) to recommend approval, with further amendments regarding the maximum
density, height, and impervious coverage.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
South Miami OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
THE CTY OF PLEASANT LIVING INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA: Steven Alexander, City Manager
FROM: Jane K. Tompkins, AICP, Planning Director
Date: January 7, 2020
An Ordinance modifying the following sections of the Land Development Code: Section 20-2.3
Definitions, Section 20-3.1 Zoning use districts and purposes (A) and (B); Section 20-3.3
Permitted use schedule; and Section 20-3.S Dimensional requirements.
BACKGROUND:
Among the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan are ensuring the availability of
housing through changes to the Land Development Code (LDC). Further, the Plan calls for the City
to investigate the range of housing available and review the LDC for impediments to the
development of projects offering a broad range of housing prices and types.
The LDC includes two zoning districts that are intended to create lower -density attached single-
family residential projects, "RT-6 Townhouse Residential" and "AT-9 Two-Family/Town house
Residential". The RT-9 district allows development at 8.7 units per acre, except for townhouse
projects which are restricted to six units per acre. While discussing the possibility of creating a
new, higher density district, the Commission expressed an interest in simply removing this
restriction on townhouses in the RT-9.
ANALYSIS:
The attached ordinance, which includes the Planning Board's recommendations, contains the
following changes to the LDC:
• Clarifies and refines the existing definitions of Two -Family and Townhouse dwelling and adds a
definition for Density (Section 20-2.3)
• Corrects the descriptions of several zoning districts to match the future land use categories of the
Comprehensive Plan and an inconsistency in the RT-6 description (Sections 20-3.1(B))
• Revises the RT-9 requirements as follows: removes the regulation that limits townhouses to the RT-6
requirements; increases the maximum density from 8.7 to nine units per acre; and increases the
maximum impervious coverage to sixty percent (Section 20-3.5)
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
2
RT-9 Text Amendment
January 7, 2020
Page 2 of 2
After a public hearing on December 10, 2019, the Planning Board voted five to one to
recommend approval of the ordinance, with the following amendments: (1) the density was
increased from 8.7 to 9 units per acre; (2) the maximum height was left at the existing twenty-
five feet; and (3) the maximum impervious coverage was increased from thirty-five to sixty
percent.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the proposed ordinance.

IV. Public Hearings:
1. PB-19-026
Applicant: The City of South Miami
An Ordinance modifying the following sections of the land Development Code: Section
20-2.3 Definitions, Section 20-3.1 Zoning use districts and purposes (A) and (B); Section
20-3.3 Permitted use schedule; and Section 20-3.5 Dimensional requirements.
Applicant: The City of South Miami, represented by Ms. Jane Tompkins (Planning Director)
Mr. Miller read PB-19-026 into the record.
Ms. Tompkins presented the item to the Board.
Mr. Jacobs asked if the new district was using the same definition of density that was already
listed in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Tompkins stated that it was a new definition. She then
stated that the Comprehensive Plan doesn't include a definition for density.
Mr. Borges asked why the density for the district was set at 8.7 units per acre opposed to 9 units
per acre. Ms. Tompkins responded that the density for the district was existing language and
couldn't explain why it was set at 8.7 units per acre. Mr. Borges then asked if the density could
be changed to 9 units per acre. Mr. Pepe responded that the Board can make the
recommendation to change the density for the district.
Mr. Miller asked about the RT-14 zoning district that was proposed several months ago. Ms.
Tompkins responded that the RT-14 district was reviewed by the City Commission. Ultimately,
the item was not voted on because it was withdrawn by its sponsor.
Mr. Miller asked if thirty (30) feet is the equivalent of three (3) stories, to which Mr. Borges stated
yes.
The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on PB-19-026
Motion: Mr. Borges moved to invite Commissioner Bob Welsh to the podium to speak before
the Board. Mr. Miller seconded the motion.
Vote: Yes 6. No 0 (None)
Mr. Borges: Yes
Mr. Corey: Yes
Dr. Philips: Yes
13
Mr. Miller: Yes
Mr. Jacobs: Yes
Mr. Monterrey: Yes
The motion allowing Commissioner Welsh to speak before the Board was approved.
Commissioner Welsh asked if the LDC regulations listed in Section 20-3.5(D)(1) requiring a special
use permit to a three (3) story building adjacent to a single-family zoning district would apply to
this district. Mr. Pepe stated that the LDC regulation would still apply to this zoning district as
well. Ms. Tompkins added that the district has a maximum building height of two (2) stories.
However, it has been the practice to place the garage on the ground floor with the remaining
two (2) floors above. Because the garage isn't considered to be habitable space, it isn't
considered to be a story and wouldn't count towards the maximum number of stories allowed.
Mr. Pepe read the definition of a Story from the LDC into the record
Story. Shall mean that portion of a building, other than a basement or mezzanine,
included between the surface of any floor and the surface of the floor next above
it; or, if there be no floor next above it, then the space between such floor and the
ceiling next above it.
Mr. Pepe stated that the height would be for two (2) stories, not three (3). Commissioner Welsh
asked if the Board would consider limiting the district to 25 feet if it was going to be next to a
single-family district if the Special Use for additional height was not approved, to which Mr.
Borges stated yes.
The Chairperson closed the floor to public comments on PB-19-026
Dr. Philips stated that going up to 25 feet would add an additional 5 feet of unusable space. Mr.
Borges responded that the extra 5 feet would allow the addition of a parapet decorative wall.
The Board then held a discussion on the maximum height for the zoning district.
Mr. Corey stated that he was concerned that this was a loophole around three (3) stories.
Mr. Miller asked if the regulations could be drafted so that the thirty (30) feet maximum height
would only be permitted adjacent to certain land use designations other than single-family
residential. Mr. Pepe stated that the Board could make that type of recommendation.
Mr. Jacobs asked if there was a state law that prevents the City from demanding or asking for
affordable housing from a developer. Mr. Pepe responded that Miami -Dade County requires that
the City assess its need for affordable housing and the practicality of requiring affordable housing
and providing bonuses to encourage affordable housing. Because of that, he stated that he
doesn't think there is anything that would prevent the request. Mr. Pepe also stated that the
State has also provided for certain exemptions for affordable housing. Mr. Jacobs stated that he
has been working with affordable housing advocates who say that there is a state regulation that
prevents the government from requesting affordable housing in development projects. Ms.
Tompkins stated that she wasn't aware of any legislation of that nature. She then stated that she
was aware of a requirement that if a government agency requires affordable housing, the
14
government would be required to make the development whole. The City would be required to
provide any monies to the developer that were lost by the use of providing affordable housing.
The Board then held a brief discussion on affordable housing.
Dr. Philips stated that from the discussion there appears to be two (2) amendments that should
be made. Those amendments are:
1. An amendment that changes the density for the district from 8.7 units per acre to 9 units
per acre; and
2. An amendment that captures the discussion held earlier on the maximum height
requirements for the district.
Mr. Miller stated that Section 20-3.5(D)(1) of the LDC seems to cover the issues pertaining to
height in the district.
Mr. Borges asked if an applicant could request a height variance to obtain the three (3) stories,
to which Ms. Tompkins stated yes. Mr. Borges asked staff if they were comfortable with changing
it to require a variance, to which Ms. Tompkins stated no. Ms. Tompkins added that if the Board
is uncomfortable with a development building two stories of living on top of a garage that is next
to single-family residential then they should recommend that the maximum height be left at
twenty (25) feet.
Mr. Borges stated that he would recommend approval with the following amendments:
1. Increase the density to 9 units per acre;
2. Leave the maximum height for the district at 25 feet; and
3. Increase the maximum impervious coverage to 60% .
The Board then held a brief discussion on impervious coverage. Ms. Tompkins asked if the
maximum impervious coverage of 60% would apply to land uses other than townhouses such as
single-family and duplex structures. Mr. Borges state that it would be fine for single-family
structures as well.
Motion: Mr. Borges moved to amend PB-19-026 to make the following changes:
1. Increase the density to 9 units per acre;
2. Increase the maximum impervious coverage to 60%; and
3. Leave the maximum height for the district at 25 feet.
Mr. Miller seconded the motion.
Vote: Yes 3, No 0 (Jacobs)
Mr. Monterrey: Yes
Mr. Jacobs: No
Mr. Miller: Yes
Dr. Philips: Yes
Mr. Corey: Yes
15
Mr. Borges: Yes
The motion to amend PB-19-026 was approved.
The Board then voted on the item as a whole.
Motion: Mr. Borges moved to approve PB-19-026 as a whole with the included amendments.
Mr. Monterrey seconded the motion.
Mr. Jacobs stated that even if the density is increased, it does not ensure the availability of
affordable housing.
Mr. Monterrey asked if there was a limit on the amount of income required for affordable
housing. Dr. Philips responded that there is an official definition on what the average income
was. The limit is typically 60% of that average.
Dr. Philips stated that the ordinance does not address affordable housing. The proposed
ordinance would only add to the range of housing allowed in the City.
Vote: Yes S. No 1(Jacobs)
Mr. Borges: Yes
Mr. Corey: Yes
Dr. Philips: Yes
Mr. Miller: Yes
Mr. Jacobs: No
Mr. Monterrey: Yes
The motion to approve PB-19-026 as a whole with the included amendments was approved.
V. Public Comments/New Business
The Chairperson opened the floor for public comments and any new business.
Public Comments Section
Ms. Lyon informed the Board that that the acronym FAS found in the Water Supply Plan was an
acronym for the Florida Aquifer System. She then explained to the Board what the Florida Aquifer
System was. Dr. Philips then provide Ms. Lyon with corrections to the document.
Commissioner Welsh informed the Board that the Commission will be holding its meeting on
Thursday, December 12, 2019. One of the topics that will be discussed are the impacts to the Ad
Valorem tax rate created by the expansion of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency
(SMCRA).
